Flat Fold Cook Pot - Weight 0.32 ounces

I know this isn't about Cuben Fabric but I got side-tracked. There is a small group at backpackinglight.com working to make a really light weight Backpackers Cook Set. I posted my light weight cook kit. It weighed just over one ounce. Some comment was made about drinking out of something other than the Cook Pot. In this case my Cook Pot was made from a Sterno Can. I said that I carry an Orikaso Flat Fold Cup and Bowl. I mentioned that I had thought about a Folding Cook Pot but hadn't tried to make one yet.

My first test Cook Pot was made from Aluminum Foil. The Aluminum Foil was not strong enough to support itself when filled with water.

I next tried an Aluminum - Hefty Brand "E-Z Foil" Pan Liner. The Pan Liner worked well and I have boiled water in this Cook Pot two times so far. I have folded and unfolded the Cook Pot many times now and it is holding up OK. The Flat Fold Cook Pot weighs 0.32oz. My first boil test was use with an Esbit Tablet. For the second boil test I used my modified Brasslite Turbo I alcohol stove. The time to a rolling boil for both tests was between 4 and 5 minutes.
